Zusammenfassung

This contribution, starting from a reflection on the role, functions and competences of mentors in universities, explores a faculty mentoring experience proposed at the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). The project presented, named "Mentoring Polito Project" (M2P), contemplates an initial training phase about how to give professional support to colleagues through peer mentoring dynamics. The training activities are followed by practical actions aimed at the empowerment of mentoring skills for more effective teaching-learning processes. More specifically, the course envisages an initial theoretical-practical training phase on mentoring and the role of mentor and mentee, a second phase of experimentation of the mentoring process through peer observation and comparison, followed by individual and group supervision, and a final phase of evaluation of the experience and design of the intervention within the University. The training is conducted by experienced trainers and is essential in order to be able to carry out the mentoring relationship consciously and competently. Specifically, the initial theoretical-practical training phase realized in the first edition of M2P (2021/22), and its assessment by the participants, will be presented in this paper. We will focus on the initial motivations and expectations of the participants, and on the assessment of the initial training activities.
